  • In Re Beck: Child Support Following Involuntary Termination

    Posted on March 5th, 2010 Melinda Deel 2 comments

    In a published opinion, the court of appeals affirmed the trial court order continuing child support after involuntary termination.  The Court reasoned that there is no distinction between an involuntary termination and a voluntary termination.

    I will be posting more about this case later.  This was just such a big development I wanted to get it posted as soon as possible.

    • I have adopted a child whose parental rights, both mother and dad have been involentarily terminated. Are they still legally responsible for child support. Right now they are paying for back support while all the court case was involved. What happens when dhs is paid back? How do I file or do I have to, will it be automatic?

    • Generally, the obligation to pay continuing child support will terminate when the child is adopted.
